Do you suggest that Laphroaig is junk?
Just asking...I claim no expertise.
No just that specific one Lulu posted.

Peaty Scotch is an acquired taste for sure. I have tried a few. Laphroaig is an Islay region distilled Scotch and that area is noted for its Peat process. I much prefer the Speyside or Highlands distilled Scotch's. I like an aromatic Scotch with a smooth taste. Goes great with a Havana...

Scotch like Bourbon are personal preference. Bourbon I prefer Rye but wheat is pretty damn good but it all boils down to distillers and process.

Tequila quality is where the Agave plant is grown (Highlands or lowlands) and how they process it.

Cool, thanks for your opinion.
I loved the Laphroaig. Smooth and tasty.
Havanas? Now that's a whole other topic, but I can well imagine a Laphroaig with a good cigar. I just had a ciggie and a joint . Would have been better with a good cigar and a joint.

Bourbon...love the stuff. Makers Mark have a good old one...their young ones I can take or leave. Can't fault Jack, though. Jim is over-rated (in NZ).

And yes, I like a good tequila. Can't claim to be an aficionado, though.
